I love this packet but when I go to print it out everything is centered at the top, leaving a gap at the bottom. I have tried printing it a few different ways with no change... any suggestions?

I was wondering if you could make packets for third grade? The end of year book and the beginning of the year one. I also like the summer to get them ready for fourth. Are any of these possible?

I LOVE this and have been trying to find something to send with my second graders this summer! Would you be interested in creating something similar for second graders going into third grade? Or do you know of a second grade teacher that might be willing to create something similar. I would be so appreciative!

It sounds like you need to update your Adobe. Are you using a MAC?

If you ARE on a MAC, I suggest you try doing this:

Good luck!!!

This sometimes happens when PDFs are opened in the Mac's native PDF program ('Preview') instead of Adobe Reader. So you'll need to open this with the latest Adobe Reader which can be downloaded from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/

IMPORTANT PART! :) Don't open the file by clicking on it (as this will automatically open it with Preview). Instead, launch Adobe Reader then go to 'File'-->'Open...', and select the PDF that way."

If you are NOT on a MAC, I suggest opening a ticket with TPT using this link: https://support.teacherspayteachers.com/Report-An-Issue.html


Thanks so much! So sorry for the inconvenience. xoxo

Kristen Eck  (TpT Seller) re: Comprehension Strategy Posters (free!)
Hello! After I downloaded this printable (which is stinking awesome by the way), I noticed there are some black lines on many of the pages. Is there any way for me to remove them? Thanks!!

Are you on a MAC? If so, here's a suggestion from another person. I hope this helps!!!!

"This sometimes happens when PDFs are opened in the Mac's native PDF program ('Preview') instead of Adobe Reader. So you'll need to open this with the latest Adobe Reader which can be downloaded from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/

IMPORTANT PART! :) Don't open the file by clicking on it (as this will automatically open it with Preview). Instead, launch Adobe Reader then go to 'File'-->'Open...', and select the PDF that way."

Hi Lyndsey,

I just purchased your CC resources kit...love it!!! Is there anyway I could get a list of the suggested books you show with each standard? I didn't see it when I printed off the pack.
Thanks,

Love the pack! Just a question, when I downloaded it, there were black bars where I think there should have been text. For example, on snack/chat, it's just black bars. Could it be that I'm on a Mac?

Yes!!! It's because you are on a MAC. This is what TPT Support sent to another teacher who was having the same issues. I hope it helps! :)

Yes...I think a lot of the 2nd grade standards would align with 3rd grade. Some of them may be slightly different.

mjnissen re: Martin Luther King Jr. Activity Packet with Craft
When I download and open the MLK packet, several pages have a "color" bar going across it. It is a black and white bar. For example, the page with the book covers has 2 book covers and 2 "black and white color bars."

Thanks!

I contacted TpT support and I did what they suggested. It worked perfectly. I've included the comment so that it helps others encountering the same situation.

Hi there, I'm so sorry! This is an easy fix. It sounds like you may need to download the newest version of Adobe. I've heard that can be a problem sometimes from other sellers.

Here is the link to get the newest version of adobe:

Beth Leibold  (TpT Seller) re: Stupendous Story Elements
Hi, A Year of Many Firsts! This packet looks great, but I don't have at least one of the fonts you are using. It is the one you used on the pages headed "A Quick Note:" "Problem And Solution:" "Snack and Chat"pages; the heading on the Character Traits page; and the top box on the right on the "Character Chat" page. There's a couple others, but thought that might help. Would like to download that font, so I can utilize this awesome packet. Thanks in advance for your help. Beth Leibold, Texas

Hi there! The file is saved as a PDF so the fonts stay intact. You won't need to download any fonts in order for them to work on your computer.

Oh no! It sounds like a TPT glitch. You only needed to purchase 1 packet if you're the only person using it. I suggest contacting TPT about this issue. So sorry! I hope this gets resolved soon!

This is a great free product and I appreciate that you have made it available. There is one small error though - on the 4 page there is a number sentence that does not have a 4 in it.
